Orlando is the place to be for meetings and conventions, said Cvent Inc., a McLean, Va.-based large meetings and events management technology firm.

Cvent evaluated 1,000 cities and 200 major metropolitan areas in the U.S. on the Cvent Supplier Network to create its top places for meetings list. In addition, the company ranked cities based on the number of total room nights booked; number of electronic request-for-proposals through the marketplace to venues within the city; total value of the proposal requests submitted; and the actual awarded value for meetings booked.

Central Florida is home to one of the largest convention centers in the nation with more than 2 million square feet of available space. The Orange County Convention Center is responsible for attracting millions of attendees each year and generating as much as $2 billion worth of regional spending.

In addition, Orlando’s number of hotel rooms — more than 115,000 — makes it a top competitor for any event planner.

The top 10 cities on the list were:

1. Orlando

2. Washington, D.C.

3. Las Vegas

4. Miami

5. Chicago

6. San Diego

7. Phoenix

8. Atlanta

9. Dallas

10. New Orleans

“We are honored and excited to be rated as the top U.S. destination by Cvent. Corporate meetings are a crucial business segment for Orlando, and our ranking No. 1 validates the effort we have put into working with these groups,” said Tammi Runzler, senior vice president of convention sales and services at Visit Orlando, in a prepared statement. “More importantly, Orlando remains committed to making the destination a compelling choice for corporate meetings.”
